General Information
1. Have a current passing Air Force fitness assessment that will not expire prior to 1 September 2023.
2. Be in uniform when signing-in and ensure all uniforms are readily available to wear as required. Reference above "Uniforms" tab for further details.
3. Initial Student Cadre (ISC): The role of ISC is twofold: 1) fill critical student leadership positions and 2) act as the ADVON team for the main body of students. Students who hold these peer leadership positions are vital in establishing the culture, morale, and developmental opportunities for the class during the year. A call for volunteers was sent in February 2023. If you are interested in a position (as found on the “Student Roles” page at top of this page), please send an email to ACSC.STUS.OrgBox@us.af.mil.
4. Concentrations: Air Command and Staff College sponsors distinct concentration programs that explore operational and strategic challenges confronting the joint force in air, sea, land, space, and cyber. Students participating in these programs will benefit from elements of ACSC’s core curriculum while also receiving specialized instruction and professional development in their respective concentrations. More info can be found here.
5. Early Reporting: Advance written permission must be obtained should early reporting be required (i.e. mandatory return from remote assignments). Normal CONUS and OCONUS moves do not meet this intent. Early reporting requests for personal convenience will not be approved. If an early reporting request is approved, the following statement must be included on your orders: “Early reporting authorized. Written approval obtained from the student squadron commander at Air Command and Staff College.”
6. Reporting Dates: Reporting prior to the Report No Earlier than Date (RNETD) or after the Report No Later than Date (RNLTD) is NOT authorized without prior coordination through ACSC and final approval from HQ AFPC/DP2LWD. Personnel that report early without prior authorization will be charged leave until authorized reporting date and will not be reimbursed for excess lodging/per diem accrued due to early reporting.
Reporting Information
1. Narrative-Only Promotion Recommendation Form (USAF Only): USAF students must have a N-O PRF completed by their losing unit prior to departing that unit.
2. Security Clearance: Clearance requirement is minimum of Secret; Top Secret/SSBI preferred. Also, if you are currently filling an SCI billet, ask your SSO for a Transfer-in-Status to the AU/SSO (DSN 953-6715/3606 or Comm 334-953-6715) at Maxwell AFB, Alabama. Finally, if your current investigation is within 60 days of the 6-year expiration date, you must begin the update process immediately through your current security manager. Please note – T5 (New TS) investigations will NOT be submitted after arrival at ACSC. Please contact ACSC security manager (DSN 493-2712/Comm 334-953-2712) with any security clearance questions.
3. Computer Requirements: Air University schools have a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy and students will not be issued government laptops. All students attending Air Command and Staff College are expected to bring their own personally-owned (not government-issued) device for access to course materials.
4. Transcripts: Non-Air Force military and all civilian personnel need their official transcripts sent to the Air University (AU) Registrar’s Office. AU Registrar contact information: Email: au.admission@us.af.mil; service desk site: https://auservicedesk.af.edu; mail: Air University Registrar, AU/A3RR Registrar Services, 60 Shumacher Avenue, Maxwell AFB, AL 36112. If you have questions, please contact the ACSC Registrar Office at Comm: 334-953-9820 (DSN: 493).

Note 1: Students who graduate ACSC can earn a Masters of Military Operational Art and Science. Students who previously graduated from the ACSC Online Master’s Program have already been awarded a Masters of Operational Art and Science degree and will not earn a second degree. If not previously obtained, the OLMP graduate will receive IDE in-residence and JPME I credit.
